These four characters are tremendous, leading us through a richly drawn and instantly relatable spiral of grief, confusion, and mad hope the likes of which early-COVID only exacerbated. Truly it feels like a "Long Day's Journey Into Night" for the Gen Zers (which I mean as a highest compliment), as it deftly connects with and explores our medium’s classic themes and scope through an acutely focused modern lens. A brilliant feat of a script that should absolutely be on your radar.

Lardner has written a great play with KILLER roles for women and non-binary folx. I loved the way this play depicts friendship among young people that don't identify as cis men. That unique relationship where you will do so much for the other person. These characters stand by each other and try to help even when that help and support is not reciprocated. Loved that this play was race specific and how the identities of the characters say so much about their characters without bringing too much attention to it.

there are a hundred colleges frantically searching for this play that ally lardner wrote
